1. Offline Web Browser
How hard would it be (on a scale of 1 to 10) to write an offline browser? I
would like one that requires no TCP/IP connection, but can parse and display
pages compliant with HTML2.0/3.0.

Joseph,
That really depends on the type of programmer you are. A parser is
really not that hard. the hard part come in with graphics/music/animation
writing the functions for handling animated Gifs. though put of Midi
the Netscape extensions and IE extensions. that's where it's gooding to
be fun.
It sounds like a REALLY good project! it would be great to have a full
blown OL-HTML reader.
on a scale from 1 to 10.. Hum... I'd rate it about a 7..

Joseph,
If you can do with out the images, then this one worked for me:
http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/
Directory simtelnet/msdos/html/
viewht14.zip B 24364 970106 Viewhtml v1.4: Quickie HTML viewer & converter
or:
knot1_3e.zip B 106013 961004 DOS graphical HTML browser for web authors
Win 3.1 thing:
Directory simtelnet/win3/inet/
slnot150.zip B 1532481 960308 SlipKnot 1.50: WWW graphical browser w/o SLIP
You might also want to take a look at the descriptions of the other files
in these directories, 00index.txt I think it's called.
